@elliotholt - @truelovesound 

We're delighted to have our friend and Leeds based DJ Elliot Holt contribute a mix for #004 of our radio show. Elliot is the head honcho of Leeds based club night Truelove which has hosted acts like Adam Port, John Talabot, Roman Flugel, Man Power, and more! Most recently Elliot has launched his label @dreamspacerecs with a compilation of tunes that we've heavily had in our rotation! 

We've had a very nice connection and support with the Leeds scene and we're buzzing to have Elliot contribute a mix that dives into his style of that deep club and electronic sound.

Enjoy!

Soul For Sale Radio #004 - Elliot Holt

These two powerful & soul infused house cuts never made it on wax, time has proven they still do great magic on the dancefloor. Both were compiled around 2013. Out now exclusive here for you on Bandcamp

🎧 "THE LONELY TAPES" es el segundo volumen de esta serie experimental. Esta entrega encapsula los estados de ánimo y la incertidumbre que me atravesaron mientras decidía mi futuro en la música, allá por el 2001. Combina grabaciones desoladas de ejercicios y fragmentos sin resolver del conservatorio (el dilema del adiós y la formación clásica) con los primeros beats y texturas que emergían de las nuevas tecnologías y el desarrollo de las computadoras (el desafío del futuro digital).

🎧 "THE LONELY TAPES" is the second volume in this experimental series. This installment encapsulates the moods and uncertainty that consumed me while I was deciding my future in music, back around 2001. It combines desolate recordings of unresolved exercises and fragments from the conservatory (the dilemma of saying goodbye and classical training) with the first beats and textures emerging from new technologies and the development of computers (the challenge of the digital future)

Benedikt Frey is many. Or just one? He is a composer. An arranger. A DJ. A Liveact. A ghost producer. A fan. He also plays in bands like INIT, or Dolphins or KEYS +++ produced the last two albums for Chris Imler. Downbeat in experimental dub zones. The goat for Edits and remixes. When house was his nation, he used to listen to pen names like Suedmilch or Venedikt Reyf. He still likes the music formed under their umbrella, but today his tomorrow is not echoed in yesterday. His sound signature moved on. Into the open. He founded labels like R.i.O. or Serious Trouble. 

He lives in Berlin. Physically. In mind Benedikt Frey is at many places. Traveling far thru his home studio that is a flat a studio a flat an instrument a record collection a flat a studio. Everywhere gear, vinyl, tapes, instruments, rooms for spontaneous sonic notions, these moments, when a sudden strike of stimulation falls. He is inspired a lot. For music to dance. Music for films. Music for live shows. Music for dancing glows. Techno, house, downbeat, ambient, jungle, electronics outside the norms. Those transportive ones. Jamming with others. Jamming with his mind. In Berlin Wedding, North of the town, where the lights dimmed low, neighbors share the flow, and a small river runs slow.  As a DJ he plays here, there, everywhere. Big clubs, small shacks, festivals, gatherings. From fast to 90 BPM - as he feels. 

For himself. For the crowd. In the spur. He still remembers his club kid days. Going to dance with friends. Down there in Offenbach. Doing the Robert Johnson. Collective emotions for a better tomorrow. These he still seeks. In his music. His shows. His collaborations. You can book him for a party. For enlightenment. For ecstasy or introspective perspectives. Dancing slow, whilst pirouetting a high-pitched show. 

Since more than a decade. His own music is out there, too. Bringing his spirits in sound. On his own labels. On international imprints like ESP Institute, Hivern Discs, Craigie Knowes, or Emotional Response. Solo works. Driving ones. Slow drills. Teased during his DJ dates around the planet. 

The music plays day and night. Inspiration comes. From a simple kick drum. A movie sequence. A bird on the sill. A picture, totally still. Can’t kick that feeling when it hits. Benedikt Frey. In dreams. In streams. In music. Emotions. Situations. At night. In those flashy lights, when it bites.
